Our Connoisseur teas are our finest and rarest teas. The range includes our highest grade green teas, rare oolong and black teas, and puerhs from as early as the 1950s.
Rich, excitingly pungent, full of the rounded almost peaty smoke notes given by cunningly banked fires of local pine. Complex and teasing with a hazel-sweet freshness behind the supple smoke.
Picked between 5th and 10th of April 2011 before the Qing Ming festival from Fengwukou Village garden. Vivacious and exuberant flavours combine spring floral scents, sweet sappiness, and a lush texture.
Intense, pure, deep and mineral, with great sappy persistence and depth. Gently peachy fruit behind, with a perfumed, honeysuckle finish. Complex and masterful.
From one of the premier regions in Taiwan, this tea is extremely floral, refreshing and palate cleansing, with a creamy and thick texture. The ultimate experience of a lightly oxidised and fired Taiwan oolong tea.
Picked on 1st April 2009 from the Outer Pagoda garden. One of this year's outstanding Chinese green teas and a new selection for JING. Richly textured with sweet spring flower and grass flavours.
In Chinese this tea is called Ming Qian Jun Shan Yin Zhen.
One of China's most famous teas and was reportedly a favourite of Chairman Mao. Its production is extremely limited as it is only produced on Jun Shan Island in Dong Ting Lake, Hunan Province. First picking of the seaon - picked between March 15th and April 5th 2011 and composed almost entirely of perfectly formed, tender buds.
Our highest grade Water Sprite oolong for this year. Graceful, rich and perfectly proportioned, with intricate notes of fragrant wood, gentle mineral oil, rose petal and peach leaf.
An extremely rare and beautifully aged loose raw puerh from the 1970s. The infusion is a magnificent ruby red-brown and has an incredibly smooth, silky and refined mouthfeel.
Thick, glycerous, tongue-coating flavours of understated richness. The flavour repertoire includes burnt almond, minerals, apricot leaf and sandalwood.
A truly exceptional black tea from Li Shan with a stunning flavour full of caramel and ripe floral notes. This is JING Tea founder, Edward Eisler's favourite tea of 2010.
Pure, complex and refined, with soft, creamy backnotes and close-textured flavours whose summer-fruit enchantment tapers away to something more gingery, deeper and grippier.
Intensely floral and vibrant - the ultimate lightly oxidised Chinese oolong tea. An extremely special Tie Guan Yin oolong and the finest example we have tasted in years.
Experience the finest teas we stock in this limited collection. Produced in extremely small quantities by some of the most renowed teamasters in the world, these teas are truly spectacular.
An exquisite return to our range, fresh from our trip to Anhui in May 2011. This tea is velvety textured with palate cleansing clarity and a long, lingering finish with notes of dark chocolate and sweet orchid.
An extremely rare and special traditionally produced Iron Buddha oolong tea with a rich, complex and sweet flavour. The perfect autumn tea and a must try for any dedicated oolong tea drinker.
